“Had he not been in the right place at the right time, who knows what would have happened,” Corporal Waters said. “But he definitely stopped the attack from continuing and becoming much worse. He might have even saved either one of their lives. It could have gone really bad, even for the suspect.”

Meyer spoke to KSTU and said that he believes that anybody would have stopped to help if they had been in the same situation. Thankfully, Meyer had the means to end the attack.

“I carry a gun to protect me and those around me, but primarily I carry a gun to protect my family first and foremost," Meyer told KSTU. "Outside of that, if I were to use my gun to protect anyone it would be law enforcement or military personnel."
